getsockopt() on the multicast source filter options writes past the
buffer the caller declared. Only the fixed header is checked against
optlen. The number of sources copied out comes from gf_numsrc/
imsf_numsrc, read back from optval, and nothing bounds that count by
the space left in the buffer.

I hit this while converting the mcast getsockopt paths to sockopt_t.
Fixing it against 'net' first, so the fix is settled on its own before
the conversion goes on top.
